26 Accustomed to the circumstances

A sliver of light disturbed my sleep. I thought it was still dark, but warmth was coming in through the window. In the quiet of the room, I heard a phone ringing on the nightstand, and it was mine. I reached for the rectangular device and saw Anne's name on the screen. Without hesitation, I answered the call. I could hear the happiness in Anne's voice from the other end, just as she had sounded at her wedding. Anne was still as excited as ever.

"Hey, Olivia! Did you enjoy my wedding?" Anne asked, wanting to make sure I had a good time.

"Of course, your wedding was so lively, and I loved everything, including the food," I replied, eager to make Anne even happier. I would never disappoint my best friend, especially on her special day.
